Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2011/2012

[Bigfella]

Beau isn't ready this season.

And the other one is v ordinary

 

[parra pete]

Both would tie you in 'nots'..

 

[MrT]

Other site says we have signed Daniel Penese from Dragons and next signing will be a quality centre

yes mate, they got that info from here as for a quality centre????? lol

Oh OK I must have missed it. I didn't see anyone mention it. He hasn't been able to crack a game at Dragons but that's not wasy with their pack, having 3 of their backrowers play origin.

Anyone seen him play? Is he any good?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon the outside backs already on contract for next year are all we'll need.

The only bloke left on the market that would improve our side is Yow Yeh, and I doubt he'd be worth what he's asking - otherwise the Broncos would have re-signed him already.

you could be right PE, but there is still some quality players out there and no one with the exception of Nolan, Arthur and Kearney who know who we're targeting and those blokes know their role quite well so I'll trust their judgement and then see what transpires next season.

 

[MrT]

would love to have a winger with raw speed that's a good finisher. Just lack that bit of pace still I feel. Loko is finding his feet and not sure how he measures up for speed in 1st grade. His strength is out of this world.

Been reading up on Penese and apparently he was quite the player in the U/20's a few years ago. A big mobile secondrower who runs on the fringes. I'm more excited about O'Hanlon re-signing. he sounds like he's Parra through and through. Need him to have a big off-season and put on some KG's. He'll see 1st grade next year for sure

 

[Stagger eel]

yeah, I'm also more excited about POH!

 

[hindy111]

Yeah unless Esi is seen as a winger we realy are looking short in that area.Atkins looks a handy back up bu not sure id want him and Burt as our two guys doing the first hit up off kick returns

 

[MrT]

Atkins is great in the air, just doesn't have that explosive pace

 

[Tony Bongo]

I thought we were chasing Hopoate as a quality centre until he made his decision to ride a pushbike for the next two years. I can't see how we wouldn't be still trying to get a player of that caliber in that position and there are still some possibilities there - so why the LOL Stagger?

 

[MrT]

Players off contract. I'd go for Peni Tagive. That McKinnon kid looked good for Dragons aswell

Wing Marshall Chalk, Sandor Earl, Dane Gagai, Bronx Goodwin, Bryson Goodwin, Phil Graham, Chris Hicks, William Hopoate, Michael Lett, Drury Low, Kevin Naiqama, Anthony Quinn, Joel Reddy, Michael Robertson, Reece Simmonds, Peni Tagive, Bill Tupou, Matt Utai, David Williams, John Williams, Tony Williams, Jharal Yow Yeh

9 players off contract Centre Justin Carney, Dean Collis, Matt Cooper, Geoff Daniela, Shane Elford, Nick Emmett, Danny Galea, Yileen Gordon, Ash Graham, Kane Linnett, Keith Lulia, Adam MacDougall, Wes Naiqama, Ben Pomeroy, Adrian Purtell, Taulima Tautai, Joseph Tomane, Clinton Toopi, Sisa Waqa, Dean Whare, Tim Winitana

well I actually said there were some possabilities there but the only people I would trust in telling me that are those connected to the club and certainly not those on the other site, but I guess that's just me being arrogant..:roll:

not quite sure how accurate that actually is but Taulima is definitely not off contract, he has another year at Cronulla.

lol he can have 10 years at Cronulla. I don't think he'll be a target

 

[Bigfella]

A fair few of those wingers have played more centre.

Not a heap of quality around though

 

[MrT]

sorry the bottom 9 are centres

 

[MrT]

We haev Vai Toutai coming through also and was selected for NSW U19's. Probably a couple of years away

Nah mate, he only signed a 1 year deal.
